  Description     : Python/asyncio reimplementation of the apt-mirror

Hello!
Because apt-mirror [1] project is long time unmaintained [2], having many [3] 
issues unresolved I started apt-mirror2 [4] project as a drop-in replacement 
for the apt-mirror.

As an example of apt-mirror problems - currently shipped in sid version of the 
apt-mirror fails with error trying to mirror bookworm-updates source code.
The problem is not resolved in the git repository also.

apt-mirror2 is a pure Python/asyncio implementation without `subprocess` calls
so it requires some dependencies which are missing from Debian:

- aiofile (tracked as #1080258. aiofiles is supported also, but aiofiles is 
  threaded file asyncio implementation and aiofile - is pure Linux AIO 
  implementation)
- caio (tracked as #1080257. This is dependency of aiofile)
- aiolimiter (tracked as #1080255)

Most of apt-mirror issues were resolved in the apt-mirror2. Moreover many 
feature requests were implemented in the apt-mirror2 as well.

Package source code is available in the Gitlab project [5], and source/binary 
packages are available in the apt-mirror2 Packagecloud repository [6].

I will be glad to maintain apt-mirror2 package and all of it's missing 
dependencies.
